Villa Finder Keeps its Commitment to Sustainable Travel

Listen, we all know that our planet’s been under a lot of stress for some time now. With climate change, pollution, deforestation, overfishing, and yes – even overtourism, we at Villa Finder understand the alarming risks it poses to our Earth if we don’t start doing something about it now. We believe that running a successful business shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet or the amazing communities we work with, which is why, in 2015, we started our commitment to sustainability.

And ok, you may be thinking, “Villa Finder is just doing this to be trendy and relevant…” But that’s where you got us all wrong. Sustainability isn’t just a trend we’re hopping on; it’s one of our core values. While many in the tourism sector focus on hotels and big resorts, we’re tackling sustainability in the often-overlooked world of villas and short-term rentals. 

We’re committed to incorporating eco-friendly practices that don’t just deal with environmental issues but also help local communities by promoting and preserving their unique cultures. We believe that eco-conscious choices can—and should—be made everywhere, especially in the tourism industry, which is why we are here to lead by example and inspire others to join us along this transformative journey.

Our Action Plan for a Healthier Planet

To achieve our sustainability targets, we focus on three major aspects:

Greening Up Our Operations

We’re taking serious action to reduce our carbon footprint.  Our goal? A 50% cut in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, with net-zero emissions by 2040. It’s ambitious, yes, but we believe urgent action is needed.  And this commitment goes beyond just the environment; it also means creating a positive and supportive workplace for our team, ensuring everyone thrives so that they, in turn, can create exceptional experiences for our clients when they stay at one of our villas. 

Partnering for Progress

We’re not doing this alone.  We’re working hand-in-hand with NGOs, local communities, and other businesses in the tourism sector to make a real impact.  Together, we can share knowledge and insights and collectively push for eco-friendly practices. We also provide guidance and training to our partners who wish to improve their own eco-credentials over time. 

Spreading the Love (for the Planet)

Sustainability might seem like a buzzword, but it’s crucial. For people who still don’t fully understand why protecting the planet matters, we share information about our sustainability work via blogs, articles, and social media. We proudly promote what our partners are doing, too. Our goal is to inspire others to join us on this journey, showing everyone how even the most luxurious villa getaways can be eco-conscious.
